During the Pokémon Game Show, it was shown thanks to a picture from a Twitter user, that the method of Mega Evolution is through a simple button in the attack interface when your Pokémon has the Mega Stone attached to it. In the demo, you also ride on a Skiddo in a route and seen riding a Rhyhorn. In it, you also battle Professor Sycamore, where you use Mega Evolution, and battle Shauna & the other playable character. Fennekin has the moves Psybeam, Flame Charge, Fire Spin and Tail Whip. The Mega Evolution battle has you face off against Chandelure, Dragonite and Crobat with Mega Mewtwo. Helioptile has Tail Whip, Thundershock, Quick Attack & Parabolic Charge. Sylveon has Swift, Quick Attack, Fairy Wind & Tail Whip. Froakie has Water Pulse, Quick Attack, Lick and Round.
In the demo, you start off with Alexa telling you to go see Professor Sycamore. On your way there, you battle the rival, with a time limit. Once you get to Professor Sycamore, he will give you Mewtwo and teach you about Mega Evolution, which is just done by a tap of a button with a move the same turn, and he'll then battle you. After the battle, a video runs of the game. It is also said that running is default due to the analogue stick, with you having to press the B Button to walk
03:53: In the Pokémon Amie feature, there are three stats listed for your Pokémon. Friendliness, Hunger and Play. It's currently unclear whether these features affect gameplay. The sweets you obtain for it are called Pofure.
04:00: As always, there are also Pokémon on the field, and the character kneels down to encounter them
We're still getting more information so keep your eyes peeled on the site. Image thanks to raim2005
04:05: Finally, at the end of a sizzle reel, a picture of a battle with graphics different to X & Y was showcased
Edit @ 08:00: Some minor more demo details have come. First, it appears Mega Mewtwo doesn't have an increase in Hit Points. Also, non-Kalos Pokémon such as Skitty and Exeggutor make an appearance in the overworld. Fairy-type moves are also not very effective on Fire-type Pokémon

And there's gonna be an anime special/new series based directly on the original games, and features Red and Green.

Re: The Pokemon Thread

Red looks weird though. I do understand that they had to alter the look somehow to distinguish him from Ash, but this version looks super weird. They didn't change much Green/Blue from Gary, which makes it even more weird, like the one is still the old character and other a brand new one.

Re: The Pokemon Thread

This gen could change your opinion, but at the moment it is hard to say it.
In any case there are some rock typed pokemon that I like in gen 4 and 5, such as Gigalith and Bastiodon.
But that is my opinion.

Whenever there is a meeting, a parting is sure to follow. However, that parting need not last forever...
Whether a parting be forever or merely for a short time... That is up to you.
